A YOUNG swimming group is having a terrific season.

Durrington Otters' squad achieved fifth place - one place higher than they were predicted to finish - in the Winter Gala.

Many of their swimmers, including nine and ten year olds, stepped up to represent the under-15s.

Elsewhere, 60 per cent of Durrington Otters' squad achieved qualifying times for the Wiltshire County Championships.

Three of the younger swimmers also went on to achieve South West Regional consideration times for the age group championships at Millfield Pool in June this year.

They are Danny Sinclair, Honour Norman and Imogen Primmer.

The squad are always looking for new members and anyone wishing to join can do so by contacting Tracy Ferris at ferris709@btinternet.com.
